Jay Peak Resort in Jay, Vermont, posted a video on social media Monday shows its first snowflakes, writing: “A good omen for future snowmen. Catch our first snow sightings of the season near the top on Sunday, September 8.”
As promising as the video looks, skiers and riders will have to be patient because the mountain typically doesn’t open for skiing until the Friday after Thanksgiving, a decades-long tradition.
